Speechless Sunday Chile

By
Industry Observer

 

 

Chile is a really neat country it is so diversified and the Chileans are so proud of the country and love it so much. There is much national pride and you see the Chilean flag everwhere. The country does have a sad history lots of people killed. If you ever go to Chile you must go to the Musuem of Human Rights it tells Chile's dictatorship past. This is the Moneda building where the Chilean Band is playing this is where Salvador Allende killed himself and said he was committed to Chile. That also is a statute of him in the second picture! Have a Happy Sunday!

The first photo with the 2 statues could have been parent with a little one had the lower stand been finished off.

Amazing pictures!  I have a friend, who was quite young when her family lived in Chile during the time of the upheaval in the 1970s.  Her father worked for the UN, and was out of the country in Africa, when the worst of it hit.  She talks about how her mother, her 3 sisters, and she, burned books they feared may be offensive to the new regime!

In the early 70s, my aunt and her friend were heading to Chile to ski the Andes, but ended up not being able to go due to the overthrow of Allende.  I remember reading after one particular earthquake in Chile how independent and self sufficient the country is;  as I recall, they said (at least initially) that they needed no help from any other country.  I was very impressed with their fortitude.

It is always great to travel to see other parts of the world and leave our business for a small period of time.
